Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2024)

Eamon Ryan: It is totally unacceptable if cloudy water is coming through someone's tap.

Eamon Ryan: ...that in recent tenders. We often have to make hard choices. Those hard choices have to advance some projects over others. Despite some of the earlier conversations, there is not an endless tap of money. That requires difficult political decisions. If we are to invest further in some projects, it means we have to invest less in others. That presents a real political challenge.

Eamon Ryan: Nearly a year ago, Vladimir Putin sent his tanks into Kyiv and set the world ablaze by putting energy prices through the roof. They had already risen because he had been turning off the tap deliberately in advance and using energy as a weapon of war. The inflation that resulted and the cost-of-living crisis that came from that was unprecedented, probably since the early 1970s and the...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)

Eamon Ryan: Today is an important day. For 100 years, we have operated as a democracy. It is important we follow the constitutional order today in electing a Taoiseach and a new Cabinet and Government. The metaphor I was using is that it is like half time. The captain's armband will be passed from one to the other but it will be a similar team and I am certain that on Monday morning Tánaiste...

Energy Security: Statements (27 Oct 2022)

Eamon Ryan: ...grid; the interconnection to other countries; the smart meters that help us use power in clever ways; the transmission grid, which we need on our island; and the new transmission grid, which we will develop to tap into offshore energy.
